Apprenticeships Are the Best Way to Build a Valuable Skill Set

Employers know what skills they need. The apprenticeship model provides those who are interested in the trades a way to learn from experts in their field while getting real world experience and getting paid.

Earn Competitive Pay

90% of apprentices who complete an apprenticeship retain employment, with competitive wages.

Earn As You Learn

In an apprenticeship you are paid while also developing your skills. Earn a competitive wage on day one. No tuition or loans.

Education and Mentorship

Learn while doing. Build a knowledge base through experience while guided by masters of the craft. Gain mentorship from seasoned industry veterans.

Join a High Demand Sector

Demand for carpenters has gone up 23%, while stonemasons are up 45% and construction 18% in the same time period.

Get Valuable Credentials

Earn a portable license through registered apprenticeship programs. Depending on the trade, in one to four years you can be a licensed trades person.

Job Security

The skilled trades do well in the best and worst economic times and are well insulated from the impacts of automation and AI. There are few jobs that offer more security.
